No, and I have figured out why. 

<blush>

The table was ill-formed.  It was originally part of an email I had cut
and pasted into a diary item and I had never asked org to "format" it
which, if I had, would have added an extra column throughout.  It's
interesting that the exporter used to work.  It *is*, however, a long
time since I updated my org as I was away all of August (without a
computer!) and have been doing the headless chicken impression ever
since trying to catch up ...

</blush>

If it helps, here is a minimal example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* table test for export
        |Milestone / Deliverable                              |WP  |Responsibl|Due:    |
        |                                                     |    |e         |        |
        |M7.1  |UCL to have developed and exercised test bed  |7   |UCL       |30th    |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Note the extra | before the first UCL in the last line of the table,
something which I hadn't spotted.

Thanks for making me look at this closer and sorry for the noise.
